I Had a Girl - Momus

I had a girl I lost to the world

Because my skin was white and her skin was brown

Someone made sure she was on a plane

So I’d never hear from that girl again

Sometimes at night, alone and depressed

A little uptight or unbearably stressed

I cry as I call out your name

I am always unable to rest

These days my life is beautifully grim

Like your long grey coat from Comme des Garcons

Imagine me here in the pouring rain

Dreaming of how I’ll solve everything

I’ll sit and I’ll write, alone and depressed

Letters that might never reach your address

Somewhere in north Bangladesh

I am always unable to rest

I had a girl I lost to the world

Because this side was cold and that side was warm

I got left here in the pouring rain

Crying aloud as I called her name

Sometimes at night, alone and depressed

A little uptight or unbearable stressed

I cry as I call out your name

I am always unable to rest

I hope that I’ll see you again
